Well he is Martin Sheen's son!

I did not know this

Fun fact: Charlie Sheen's real name is Carlos Estevez.

I remember telling my sister when we were younger that Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez were brothers, and she refused to believe me because they had different last names

 

[squashface]

To be fair what Brando looked like was a pretty mobile target over his career

Pretty mobile hey? Can he play ruck?

He's dead.

Fun fact: Charlie Sheen's real name is Carlos Estevez.

If we are going there,

Nicholas Cage's real name is Nicholas Coppola
Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas, had to change his name as the first one was already listed in SAG

 

[Bender_]

He was Superman's Dad.

Superman and Michael Corleone are half brothers.

 

[Bender_]

He's dead.

Plonk him at FF. Be stiff to not kick a bag.

Brando's in the goal square!

 

[squashface]

He's dead.

The rest of our rucks play that way so he'll fit in

Look I struggled with the concept of those 2 being brothers too. Trying to explain to a 5 year old that "he took his mum's name" must've been frustrating for my siblings.

He's dead.

So still more dedicated to footy than Harry Barnett?

txbyhull the boomers are showing their age again

They lost me after Caeser. I have heard of Marlon Brando but I could not possibly tell you who he is or what he looks like

Brando, Redford, Newman, Heston, Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen were all at their peak well before my birth, however I still watch classic movies and listen to older music.

Keanu Reeves could have been Chuck Spadina.

Keanu Reeves’ Manager Told Him to Change His Name at 20 Years Old. They Considered ‘Chuck Spadina’ Before Using ‘KC Reeves’: ‘And Then I Couldn’t Do It’

Keanu Reeves was told to change his name as a 20 year old actor but then refused to when his manager started using "KC Reeves."

And I am so happy for you, your condescension is greatly appreciated

I asked the guy, "Why you so fly? He said, "Funky Chuck Spadina"

Now I've got Tone Loc in my head.

I think you brought that one on yourself kiddo.

Martin Sheen peaked with Mass Effect 2. Prove me wrong.

I feel like you're getting a Gen Z stare right now

Okay on second inspection I do know this one, he was Uncle Ben in the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies

Well that was unnecessary.

 

[txbyhull]

More of a reluctant agree to disagree. I don’t find myself pulling the stare often as I think it’s a bit cringe

Edit: that being said I can think of far worse things that people my age do that I find undeniably cringe-worthy. Vaping for one.

If we are going there,

Nicholas Cage's real name is Nicholas Coppola
Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas, had to change his name as the first one was already listed in SAG

Michael Caine's birth name was Maurice Joseph Micklewhite Jr. He eventually legally changed it to Michael Caine because he was getting tired of being recognised in airports as Michael Caine but then having a different name on his passport.

And not many people know that.

I don't think I've seen it in real life, not that I've noticed anyway. Maybe I have and I just thought the person was a bit slow or something.

What an absolutely elite name

What an absolutely elite name

There's a reference to it in one of the greatest Christmas movies ever:
